  • I totally agree with Z. You're the nhs customer. It's not job creation scheme. They should be there to help. I let a doctor read me the riot act last week because I was so gobsmacked. I've been so annoyed with myself ever since.

    Well done on the weight loss Beanie :) Half a stone in a month is great - and do-able without starving.

    Root canal not as bad as you think - I've had two :(. Weather here was cold until this afternoon then it was lovely. So much for the "hotter than Spain" we were promised.
